Kerry McGrady, our friendship was so special to me, one of great respect and love. I will miss our talks about our kiddos and grands, about Auburn, about relationships, especially ours with God. Oh how he loved his children! I will miss laughing as we were always trying to help our friends, knowing it was an impossible task. I will miss your kindness, your love for others and your ability to not be overly critical. Knowing your body is healed and your raising hell in heaven with Tim makes me laugh. But oh how I will miss you, dear friend. God bless your family as they pick up the pieces without you, my buddy. - Dawn Cox

Kerry’s biography from 2006:
I have lived in Athens for the past 27 years. I am married and have three boys- JT- 23, Pierce-13, Bram-10. My wife and I have been foster parents for the past three years. This experience brought about our "other family". Marta and her son Jaiver lived with us for 2+ years. She is married now and has a little girl, too. So, I am a DAD and a GRANDAD (of sorts) ! After a 24 year insurance career, I switched gears and became "blue collar". I am the General Manager for ACE Industries- a crane and hoist company based out of Atlanta. Can't wait until the reunion !!!! Kerry
